WHY URUGUAY?

URUGUAY CAN BE AN IDEAL COUNTRY FOR PERMANENT RESIDENCE BECAUSE
  • Uruguay is a territorial tax jurisdiction for natural persons: work and business income earned abroad is not taxed. Foreign dividends, interest and (since 2026) foreign capital gains and rents are taxed at 12%, unless you qualify for the 11-year tax holiday for new residents. Unlike Paraguay, permanent residency does not make you a tax resident: you must live in Uruguay for more than six months per year (or buy real estate worth around $580,000 and spend 60 days a year there). And to get Uruguay’s 11-year tax holiday without living there more than half the year, you now need roughly $2 million in property. 
  • Obtaining permanent residency in Uruguay is a cheap and straightforward process.
  • Visit Uruguay for one working week.
    Since in Uruguay, unlike in Paraguay, it is necessary to carry out a health check and wait for the results and the so-called “carnet de salud,” we recommend coming to Uruguay for one working week.
    Important information – you need to enter Uruguay, in this case, on your official passport (not on a Paraguayan cedula, which is also legally possible). Similarly, only exit on your official passport (with a “permiso de reingreso”) until you get an official Uruguayan cedula.
    For the health check, you need to bring a urine sample and a tetanus vaccination certificate, and women also need to bring the result of an HPV/PAP test or a mammogram (all translated into Spanish). The health check is followed by a visit to the immigration office and an application for permanent residency. On the same day, we will apply at another office for a temporary identity card (“cedula provisoria”) based on the birth certificate apostilled in Uruguay. It will be issued within 7 days, or we will collect it from you with a power of attorney. This document already entitles you to do most things in Uruguay – be employed there, get a driving license, or stay in the country.
    To exit and re-enter the country, you use a special re-entry permit, “permiso de reingreso”, which you use until you receive an official cedula along with your passport.
    Permanent residence approval within 3 months of your first visit.
    It takes approximately another 18 months to register your birth certificate in the civil registry in Uruguay. It is then possible to arrive for a second visit and apply for an official cedula.
  • Then visit Uruguay for 1-2 business days (approximately 18 months after the first visit) and apply for an official cedula, valid until the expiry date printed on it, usually 3 years. Your permanent residency itself has no time limit. Based on a power of attorney, we can collect and deliver the cedula by courier on your behalf.
  • Then visit Uruguay for 1-2 working days (after 3 years from the approval of your residency). You will apply for a Uruguayan criminal record extract and a new cedula for the next 3 years (a straightforward and quick process). You repeat this point every 3 years to maintain your permanent residency in Uruguay. On the second and third visits, you usually have 3 hours to do everything, but having a buffer is good
  • Uruguay is a very peaceful country where you can live a quiet life.
  • Canceling your EU residency has many advantages. They vary from country to country, but in many European countries it means, for example, no compulsory military service, no obligation to be a customer of health care oligopolies and no social security monopoly.
  • In addition, two new continents will automatically become your new home – the EU, where your EU citizenship will allow you to stay indefinitely without any permits, and South America, where, once you hold the definitive cédula of a permanent resident, your Uruguayan ID card will allow you to move freely without a passport (Uruguay is a member of Mercosur, the Latin American version of Schengen).
  • The possibility of choosing the most suitable global international health insurance for you.
  • It is still possible to manage your European companies in most countries.

THE PLAN INCLUDES:

  • Return flights from Europe to Montevideo (all inclusive plan*)
  • Accommodation in a 5-star luxury hotel during both visits to Montevideo (all-inclusive plan*)
  • Guidance in your home country to obtain all the necessary documentation for permanent residency (this process usually takes 4-6 weeks) (all plans)
  • Delivery of all necessary documents to our Uruguayan lawyers to start the immigration process (all plans)
  • Visit to the immigration office (with 3 months notice)
  • Advice on what you need to do in your home country to cancel your permanent residency, including any related insurance. Please note that local laws and procedures may vary from country to country.
  • Advice on obtaining international global health insurance

Frequently Asked Questions

Of course it is. We give excellent feedback to all the countries whose people have decided to give up their permanent residency in favour of that of Uruguay. If a lot of people decide to change their permanent residency, then there is something wrong with their home countries. And it is a clear signal to their governments to do something to be more attractive to all these people.

The Uruguayan permanent residency is the cheapest in the world and can be afforded by most people in EU countries.

Uruguay is considered a safe country in Latin America.
Obtaining permanent residency in Uruguay is probably the cheapest and easiest process in the world.
  • Birth certificate (if you can’t find it, don’t worry, you can ask for a copy).
  • Valid passport (we recommend that you have two passports if your home country supports this).
  • Criminal records from your home country and country of residence.
  • Two identity photos.
  • Health card (we recommend a private clinic in Uruguay to get your Uruguayan health card quickly).
  • Tetanus vaccination (you must prove that you have this vaccination within ten years).
  • Income (you must prove that you earn at least 1200 USD per month – we can help you with this).
  • Marriage certificate (optional). This must be legalized for international use, translated into Spanish, and apostilled. Our agency covers this process (for some specific countries).

It depends on how much time you want to spend there. Uruguayan permanent residency on its own does not make you a tax resident. For that you need more than 183 days a year in Uruguay, your main economic base or centre of vital interests there, or real estate worth about USD 580,000 plus 60 days a year in the country. If you become tax resident from 2026, the 11-year tax holiday on foreign dividends, interest and capital gains is only available with more than 183 days a year, property worth roughly USD 2 million, or about USD 104,000 a year into approved funds. Otherwise that income is taxed at 12%. For perpetual travellers who need a tax residency without living anywhere, Paraguay is the better fit, and Uruguay makes a great second residency next to it.
You do not need to live in Uruguay. We apply for permanent residency directly, so there is no temporary residency period to spend in the country. To keep your permanent residency valid, you must not stay outside Uruguay for more than three years in a row (Law No. 18.250, Art. 45). In practice you come for 1-2 working days about 18 months after your first visit to apply for the official cedula, and then every 3 years to renew it (see the process above).
Only if you decide to work for a Uruguayan company, otherwise you do not. International health insurance is also available.

Yes, you need an anti-tetanus vaccination (within the last 10 years).
